why is it spray?? Pray tell, did someone dare mention a rating??!?!? The bastards!

why??

i think its an eye rivet...no expansion bolts were placed according to the article...

that's just 'tarded...

someone should drop kevbone like a bad habit...

you should get some medication for that...ick...

ahhhh...is that why you guys wear tape gloves, cause the mean cracks hurt your hands...thats just so cute. man...you're so core... Having spent a week in the valley with Jens several years ago, watching him climb everything in sight with no rest days and no tape, i just have to say that "you, sir, are full of shit"... my guess, from that picture, is that he'd been climbing for something like 9 days straight and probably had some big holes to contend with on his hands, then went up there for that route... carry on...

Remember? you hangin' with pinkeye tonight??

you goin' to sushi with us tomorrow?????

howzittgoin'??

nah...kev's alright...i just like earholin' him like a little tag along brother...

nope... can't really fix stupid, can you?

Since when did you become such a badass Index local? Guess I just never seen you there. dood...he sent the girth pillar! The one that's just left of Upper Town!! ! Now back up real slow and say yer sorry...

Now I am confused…..what am I confused about? oh...that'd be about almost everything...clear now?

well said... oh, and kevbone, why are always so freakin' negative...you are a member of a peanut gallery...ya couldn't touch the route in question, whether pink or red, yet you just have to whip out your mini-unit and piss on it... christ, bill even asked preemptively to not spray on the thread...

it helps...the whole no fear thing helps too...

he got cut on two fingers on different hands...bleeding, wasn't into it, so he french freed parts and climbed the rest... kinda cool for me though, as we went and did a bunch of other routes...he walked up iron horse and the vslot...he hadn't done the slot before, and thought that was cool...

I don't think you've contemplated escaping a belay. You need two prusiks on your harness at all times. And when you're going to lose 17 draws do you keep going with some kind of misplaced ethics or do you grab the gear and get on with it? ethics on an aid route? now that's some funny stuff...the only ethic on aid is "don't use a hammer unless its absolutely necessary"...

climbing 101... the other option is grabbed the g0#)$#@)$*damne#)@$d rope and pull up on it, have buddy take in slack, repeat... jeezus... my guess is those were prolly brand spankin' new draws bought from REI'mGONNA HAVE AN ADVENTURE, right? I'd treat this as a lesson, and go read a book or talk to some folks...

there...fixed the title thread to the appropriate title... oh, AND WEAR YOUR HELMET!

where the fuck do you find those gremlins!!!!

Ivan, I do not know what is best though. My first aided attempt (but w/out Fifi) was a failure when I got on the bolted ladder on Monkey face and had to leave all my 17 quickdraws on it. BTW, I wonder if they are still up there and if someone some time in the future will be climbing the Pioneer route, please, please clean them up and return them to me. I will also post this to LOST and FOUND! why don't you post on craigslist under the heading FREE BOOTY! don't forget to wear a helmet!

SHOULDA WORN A HELMET

YER ALL GONNA BURN IN HELL!!!!!

tummy is in the way...
